Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert put mouth in motion before putting brain in gear

“It does make me wonder, you know, with all those people in the theater, was there nobody that was carrying? That could have stopped this guy more quickly? I mean, in Tyler, Texas, we had, in my hometown, we had a shooter come in over a domestic matter and just start shooting people, and it was a guy with a concealed carry. He got killed, but his shooting at this guy caused him to run and no doubt saved a lot of lives. He was a real hero.”
Those were the words Rep. Louie Gohmert uttered during an interview about the Batman movie shooting in Colorado. Screwy Louie was being interviewed Friday on the Heritage Foundation’s “Istook Live” program when he made a fool of himself by putting his mouth in motion before putting his brain in gear.
Screwy Louie reminds me of the idiots who to this day argue for the right to bear arms by claiming that had the Japanese invaded our West Coast after Pearl Harbor, a citizenry armed with rifles, shotguns and handguns could have stopped the heavily armed invaders.
Let’s get real! An armed theater patron or two could not have stopped a nutcase wearing body armor and a ballistic helmet in a crowded dark theater with hundreds of panic-stricken patrons running and crawling around in all directions while under fire from a semi-automatic AR-15. To think otherwise, you’d have to be under the influence of some funny tobacco.
